I know is fun but let us think about it.

Probably it does not offer syntax highlight, but it is not impossible
as it can use scheme as extension language.

My personal way of writing a book would be to rather write it as text
and THEN to format the chapters, text, justifications, etc. In general
I would let TeX and LaTeX decide about those issues.
